Folds in the Map is a collection of essays and stories by emerging author Jeff
Bauer. In these pages, he embarks on an earnest, touching journey to discover the
places where we feel most connected as human beings – to each other, to nature,
and to the world around us. From the bottom of a bomb crater in Laos, to a refugee
camp on the Sudanese border, to the side of a Panamanian volcano, and back home
again to the frozen January streets of Minnesota, Folds in the Map is a moving,
intensely personal exploration of shared experience and unlikely intersection.
